Sophie Cunningham never follows a traditional way of choice. From fearless plays to fearless fashion, the Indiana Fever guard has always carved her own path. Her latest move? Ditching traditional bras during WNBA games, and doing it with confidence.

Fans may have noticed Sophie’s signature game-day look includes no visible bra lines. But it’s not about stirring attention. There’s actually a deeply practical reason behind the choice, one that dates back to her childhood. A black belt in Taekwondo since age six, Cunningham has never liked being physically restricted. That same mindset now guides how she suits up for the court.

Freedom of Movement And Smart Support

Cunningham’s decision isn’t as risky as it might appear. Instead of traditional bras, she wears a specially designed Tochi sports bra, offering high support without compromising flexibility. The gear helps her move freely in high-pressure moments, giving her the speed and agility to outmaneuver opponents. In fact, that edge reportedly played a part in her assertive takedown of CJ Shelton, where she swiftly seized control during a game.

For Sophie, comfort and performance go hand in hand. She knows her body, knows what works, and refuses to be boxed in by expectations. Her choice also reflects an understanding of her physique. With less risk of movement-related discomfort, she stays focused on the game rather than on adjusting gear mid-play.

But she doesn’t limit her boldness to the court. Before the start of the WNBA season, she turned heads at the arena in a sheer black lace bodysuit layered under a structured black blazer. The outfit revealed a stylish black bra and high-waisted undergarments, paired with black heels and a sleek ponytail. It was a confident look- bold, but intentional, much like her game-day style.

Sophie Cunningham stands out by embracing both in a league where individuality and athleticism intersect. Whether she’s breaking through defenses or breaking style norms, she does it her way- fearlessly, and with purpose.
